wE aRE thE EnEMY: is this thE lEsson oF FERGuson?

Ferguson mat-ters because it provides us with a foretaste of what is to come. It is the shot across the bow, so to speak, a warn-ing that this is how we will all be treated if we do not tread cau-tiously in chal-lenging the police state, and it won’t matter whether we’re black or white, rich or poor, Republican or Democrat.

By John Whitehead If you dress police officers up as soldiers and you put them in military vehicles and you give them military weapons, they adopt a warrior mentality. We fight wars against en-emies, and the enemies are the people who live in our cities—particularly in communi-ties of color.—Thomas Nolan, criminology professor and former police officerShould police officer Darren Wilson be held accountable for the shooting death of un-armed citizen Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, on August 9, 2014?That the police officer was white and his victim black should make no difference. In a perfect world, it would not matter. In an imperfect world such as ours, however, rac-ism is an effective propaganda tool used by the government and the media to distract us from the real issues.As a result, the national dialogue about the dangers of militarized, weaponized police officers being trained to act like soldiers on the battlefield, shooting first and asking questions later, has shifted into a largely un-spoken debate over race wars, class percep-tions and longstanding, deep-seated notions of who deserves our unquestioning loyalty and who does not.

Putting aside our prejudices, however, let’s not overlook the importance of Ferguson and this grand jury verdict. Tasked with de-termining whether Wilson should stand trial for Brown’s shooting, the grand jury ruled that the police officer will not face charges for the fatal shooting.However, the greater question—whether anything will really change to rein in mili-tarized police, police shootings, lack of ac-countability and oversight, and a military industrial complex with a vested interest in turning America into a war zone—remains unanswered.Ferguson matters because it provides us with a foretaste of what is to come. It is the shot across the bow, so to speak, a warning that this is how we will all be treated if we do not tread cautiously in challenging the police state, and it won’t matter whether we’re black or white, rich or poor, Republican or Demo-crat. In the eyes of the corporate state, we are all the enemy.This is the lesson of Ferguson.Remember that in the wake of the shooting, Ferguson police officers clad in body armor, their faces covered with masks, equipped with assault rifles and snipers and riding ar-

thE woRldmored vehicles, showed up in force to deal with protest-ers. Describing that show of force by police in Ferguson, Senator Claire McCaskill, Democrat of Missouri, stated, “This was a military force, and they were facing down an enemy.”Yes, we are the enemy. As I point out in my book A Gov-ernment of Wolves: The Emerging American Police State, since those first towers fell on 9/11, the American people have been treated like enemy combatants, to be spied on, tracked, scanned, frisked, searched, subjected to all man-ner of intrusions, intimidated, invaded, raided, manhan-dled, censored, silenced, shot at, locked up, and denied due process.There was a moment of hope after Ferguson that perhaps things might change. Perhaps the balance would be re-stored between the citizenry and their supposed guard-ians, the police. Perhaps our elected officials would take our side for a change and oppose the militarization of the police. Perhaps warfare would take a backseat to more pressing national concerns.That hope was short-lived.It wasn’t long before the media moved on to other, more titillating stories. The disappearance of a University of Virginia college student and the search for her alleged abductor, the weeks-long man-hunt for an accused cop killer, the Republican electoral upset, a Rolling Stone ex-pose on gang rapes at fraternity parties, Obama’s immi-gration amnesty plan, and the rape charges against Bill Cosby are just a few of the stories that have dominated the news cycle since the Ferguson standoff between police and protesters.It wasn’t long before the American public, easily accli-mated to news of government wrongdoing (case in point: the national yawn over the NSA’s ongoing domestic sur-veillance), ceased to be shocked, outraged or alarmed by reports of police shootings. In fact, the issue was nowhere to be found in this year’s run-up to Election Day, which was largely devoid of any pressing matters of national concern.And with nary a hiccup, the police state marched stead-ily forth. In fact, aided and abetted by the citizenry’s short attention span, its easily distracted nature, and its desensitization to anything that occupies the news cycle for too long, it has been business as usual in terms of po-lice shootings, the amassing of military weapons, and the government’s sanctioning of police misconduct. Most re-cently, Ohio police shot and killed a 12-year-old boy who was seen waving a toy gun at a playground.Rubbing salt in our wounds, in the wake of Ferguson, po-

lice agencies not only continued to ramp up their military arsenals but have used them whenever possible. In fact, in anticipation of the grand jury’s ruling, St. Louis police ac-tually purchased more equipment for its officers, includ-ing “civil disobedience equipment.”Just a few weeks after the Ferguson showdown, law en-forcement agencies took part in an $11 million manhunt in Pennsylvania for alleged cop killer Eric Frein. Without batting an eye, the news media switched from outraged “shock” over the military arsenal employed by police in Ferguson to respectful “awe” of the 48-day operation that cost taxpayers $1.4 million per week in order to carry out a round-the-clock dragnet search of an area with a 5-mile-radius.The Frein operation brought together 1,000 officers from local, state and federal law enforcement, as well as SWAT teams and cutting edge military equipment (high-pow-ered rifles, body armor, infrared sensors, armored trucks, helicopters and unmanned, silent surveillance blimps)—some of the very same weapons and tactics employed in Ferguson and, a year earlier, in Boston in the wake of the marathon bombing.The manhunt was a well-timed, perfectly choreographed exercise in why Americans should welcome the police state: for our safety, of course, and to save the lives of po-lice officers.Opposed to any attempt to demilitarize America’s police forces, the Dept. of Homeland Security has been chanting this safety mantra in testimony before Congress: Remem-ber 9/11. Remember Boston. Remember how unsafe the world was before police were equipped with automatic weapons, heavily armored trucks, night-vision goggles, and aircraft donated by the DHS.Contrary to DHS rhetoric, however, militarized police—twitchy over perceived dangers, hyped up on their author-ity, and protected by their agencies, the legislatures and the courts—have actually made communities less safe at a time when violent crime is at an all-time low and lum-berjacks, fishermen, airline pilots, roofers, construction workers, trash collectors, electricians and truck drivers all have a higher risk of on-the-job fatalities than police of-ficers.Moreover, as Senator Tom Coburn points out, the mili-tarization of America’s police forces has actually “created some problems that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.” Among those problems: a rise in the use of SWAT team raids for routine law enforcement activities (averaging 80,000 a year), a rise in the use and abuse of asset forfei-ture laws by police agencies, a profit-driven incentive to

criminalize lawful activities and treat Americans as sus-pects, and a transformation of the nation’s citizenry into suspects.Ferguson provided us with an opportunity to engage in a much-needed national dialogue over how police are trained, what authority they are given, what weaponry they are provided, and how they treat those whom they are entrusted with protecting.Caught up in our personal politics, prejudices and class warfare, we have failed to answer that call. In so doing, we have played right into the hands of all those corporations who profit from turning America into a battlefield by sell-ing the government mine-resistant vehicles, assault rifles, grenade launchers, and drones.As long as we remain steeped in ignorance, there will be no reform.As long as we remain divided by our irrational fear of each other, there will be no overhaul in the nation’s law enforcement system or institution of an oversight process whereby communities can ensure that local police de-partments are acting in accordance with their wishes and values.

And as long as we remain distracted by misguided loyal-ties to military operatives who are paid to play the part of the government’s henchmen, there will be no saving us when the events of Ferguson unfold in our own back-yards.When all is said and done, it doesn’t matter whose “side” you’re on as far as what transpired in Ferguson, whether you believe that Michael Brown was a victim or that Dar-ren Wilson was justified in shooting first and asking ques-tions later.What matters is that we not allow politics and deep-root-ed prejudices of any sort to divert our efforts to restore some level of safety, sanity and constitutional balance to the role that police officers play in our communities. If we fail to do so, we will have done a disservice to our-selves and every man, woman and child in this country who have become casualties of the American police state.Copyright 2014 © The Rutherford InstituteThe views expressed in this article are the author’s own and do not necessarily reflect Ellopia Press News editorial policy.

Ας μιλήσουμε λοιπόν για τη Γάζα.

Το καλοκαίρι του 2014, με την Αραβική Άνοιξη στον πάγο αλλά και με την δυναμική των λαϊκών κινημάτων να μην έχει κοπάσει, στην Αίγυπτο επικράτησαν δυνάμεις εχθρικές προς την Μουσουλμανική Αδελφότητα μέρος της οποίας αποτελεί και η Χαμάς στη Γάζα.Το Ισραήλ έκρινε-λανθασμένα όπως αποδείχτηκε- ότι τώρα ήταν η κατάλληλη ευκαιρία να τελειώνει με την Χαμάς ώστε να δοθεί η Γάζα στον έλεγχο του Μαχμούτ Αμπάς με τον οποίο βρίσκεται αενάως και παντελώς ανεπιτυχώς σε «διάλογο».Πενήντα μια ημέρες ανελέητου βομβαρδισμού και καταστροφής αντιστασιακών υποδομών της Χαμάς στη Γάζα και το Ισραήλ ακόμα δεν είχε καταφέρει να κάμψει την αντίσταση από όλες τις παρατάξεις του αποκλεισμένου παλαιστινιακού θύλακα.

Την ίδια ώρα οι νεκροί παλαιστίνιοι ξεπερνούσαν τους 2100, στην συντριπτική πλειοψηφία άμαχοι, οι εικόνες των νεκρών παιδιών άρχισαν πλέον να αντιστρέφουν ακόμα και στις πιο φιλοϊσραηλινές δυτικές πρωτεύουσες το κλίμα κατά του Ισραήλ, ενώ το ίδιο το Ισραήλ μετρούσε σχεδόν 80 νεκρούς -κυρίως στρατιώτες- αριθμός πολύ υψηλός για να δικαιολογήσει μια στρατιωτική «επιχείρηση» στη Γάζα προς όφελος υποτίθεται της εθνικής ασφάλειας.Το μέτωπο λοιπόν της Γάζας έκλεισε αναγκαστικά για όλες τις πλευρές με μια εκεχειρία που μέχρι σήμερα τουλάχιστον φαίνεται να τηρείται χωρίς καμία όμως χαλάρωση του αποκλεισμού.

Σε αυτήν την αποκλεισμένη ρημαγμένη Γάζα προσπαθήσαμε και τελικά καταφέραμε να εισέλθουμε φέρνοντας έντεκα τόνους φάρμακα από Ελλάδα και καταγράφοντας την κατάσταση αμέσως μετά τον πόλεμο. Αμέσως μετά την είσοδο μας στη Ράφα τα πρώτα σημάδια της καταστροφής αλλά και του ακμαίου ηθικού των κατοίκων γίνεται ολοφάνερο.

Στη Ράφα, μια πιο αραιοκατοικημένη συνοριακή περιοχή υπάρχουν βομβαρδισμένα κτήρια, πολλά γαζωμένα με σφαίρες μεγάλου διαμετρήματος. Εδώ σύμφωνα με το Ισραήλ έγινε απόπειρα από μαχητές της Χαμάς για απαγωγή ισραηλινού στρατιώτη. Διετάχθη τότε «Νέρωνας»…Με την παντελώς παράνομη και ανήθικη αυτή τακτική, ο ισραηλινός στρατός ρίχνει συνεχώς προς την περιοχή που φαίνεται να πραγματοποιείται απόπειρα αιχμαλώτισης ισραηλινού στρατιώτη, με την ελπίδα αυτός να καταφέρει να απεγκλωβιστεί.Βέβαια με βολές πυροβολικού ανά 60 δευτερόλεπτα επί πολλά λεπτά προς τον στόχο που υποτίθεται επιδιώκεις να απεγκλωβίσεις το πλέον εύκολο να συμβεί είναι να τον εξαϋλώσεις όπως και έγινε τελικά.Η Χαμάς δεν είχε καμία πληροφορία ούτε για δικούς της μαχητές ούτε για κάποιον ισραηλινό και πως άλλωστε αφού δεν είχε μείνει τίποτα.Για το Ισραήλ φυσικά, απεγκλωβισμένος ή νεκρός είναι σίγουρα καλύτερο από το να έχει ο εχθρός αιχμάλωτο του…

Here we are again my friends, another Christmas, another New Year, I am feeling happy and excited to be back home this time of year, jetlag and all. As l was sorting out Christmas decorations last night, I found my holiday journal, sat in the middle of the floor and started reading, I was in an awe seeing how many of my last year’s wishes had been granted. I went down memory lane of earlier wish lists, and real-ized that some things I had asked for, had materialized years later after the asking, but they had. Wow what a significant realization, it reinstated my faith in prayer and in Santa. I took to my journal again and started writing my heart felt thanks to God for the gifts I had received. Af-ter a while the gratitude I was offering and the joy of receiving empowered me so much that I felt cherished, loved and very special. I was a child again, full of won-der and awe, faith and confidence. My joy was so great I wanted to share it with loved ones; I felt the blessing of generosity so I started mak-ing my gift-giving list for them. It was so much fun and easy to share; I chose books for many, writing pads for others, Tarot cards for a few. I opted for table games for families with children, foot massages for my favorite aunts, and my special chicken soup recipe for my friend Linda. In my mind I was experiencing their gladness of

receiving gifts that filled my heart with joy. By the time I was finished I was so elated, and so full of happiness. What an awakening that was; the joy of giving is so powerful I wish it for you all. That is what Christmas is all about, giving joy and opening our hearts to also receive it. Giving does not always have to be material. The magic of a smile works wonders, ask the beggar in the corner; he may prefer it to the change you put in his cup. The same goes for your doorman and the deliveryman, take a minute and ask them about their families and how they are spending their Holidays; they have a life you know as important as yours. Put the grudges down and let bygones be bygones. The power of forgiveness is very healing so send sea-son’s greetings to those you have not been speaking to. Let them feel loved, an encouraging word from you may give them a new lease in life. Make this Christmas about rebirth of our own spirit, giving, sharing, forgiving, connecting and most of all giving LOVE. It will be returned to you tenfold. Make this Holiday memorable long after the gifts have been forgotten. And now start making your own wish list; Santa knows you’ve been good!!!! My best Holiday Wishes to you and your families! Maria

New York has given the country and the world many things in its 380-year history — the hot dog, the American musical, the martini, electric signs — but who knew it also gave us what the modern world thinks of as the tradi-

tional way to celebrate Christmas?

Christmas was originally a combination of the day of worship of the birth of Christ and the Roman winter solstice festival called the Saturnalia. The latter was a very raucous, townwide affair, and its raunchy and riot-ous ways persisted until nearly modern times.

Then the Puritans outlawed Christmas altogether.

When it was revived in 1660, it was a calmer affair, and still celebrated on a community basis.It was New York City that changed all that, pioneering the family — and very child-centered — holiday that has since spread around the world. This is not surpris-ing, perhaps, seeing that Santa Claus is New York's pa-tron saint.No, really. The Dutch ship that brought the first settlers to Manhattan was named for St. Nicholas, the patron saint of old Amsterdam as well as children.

It was long a Dutch tradition for children to get presents on St. Nicholas Day, Dec. 6, often put in their shoes or stockings for them to find in the morning. The children of non-Dutch families, noticing how well the Dutch children were making out on Dec. 6, were soon suc-cessfully lobbying their parents to give them presents as well.

Puck Magazine, a satirical monthly. The caption reads "Bring the little ones' let them en-joy this Christmas Carnival to their hearts content." Photo courtesy the Library of Con-gress.

Often these presents came on Christmas instead of St. Nicholas Day.Then, around the turn of the 19th century, New York's emerging literary establishment created much of the folklore of the modern Christmas. Washington Irving wrote about St. Nicholas ("Sinterklaes" in one Dutch form of the name, soon anglicized to "Santa Claus"). In Irving's "Diederich Knickerbocker's History of New York," Sinterklaes rode through the skies in a horse and wagon and went down chimneys to deliver presents to children.In 1821, an American children's book called "The Chil-dren's Friend" changed Santa's horse and wagon to a reindeer and sleigh. Then in 1823, Clement Clarke Moore penned the most famous Christmas poem of them all, "A Visit from St. Nicholas." Moore was about as New York as it gets. His family's Manhattan estate had been named for the Chelsea Hospital in London — and that then gave its name to the Manhattan neighbor-hood, which Moore developed. It was Moore who made the number of Santa's reindeer eight and gave them their names.

New York merchants, knowing a good thing when they saw one, began to push the New York tradition of gift-giving, decorating their stores and filling their windows with merchandise designed to catch the eyes of kids. They figured, quite correctly, that the fastest way to a

parent's wallet was through their children.A.T. Stewart, the greatest New York merchant of the time — he more or less invented the department store — also was a major importer of dry goods and other merchandise from abroad, which he wholesaled to storekeepers in other cities around the country.At first, there was no single, standard image of Santa Claus. But in the 1860s, the great American political cartoonist Thomas Nast contributed drawings (like the one pictured above) to Harper's Weekly — a New York publication, of course — that fixed to the present day the image of Santa Claus as a jolly, bearded, fat man in a fur-trimmed cap. Nast often depicted Santa visiting the troops fighting the Civil War.

By the 20th century, the New York-inspired American Christmas traditions were hallowed ones. But New Yorkers kept adding to them anyway. In 1940, Irving Berlin wrote what has become the most popular Christ-mas song of all time, "White Christmas." Nine years later, Robert May and his New Yorker brother-in-law, the composer Johnny Marks, added a ninth reindeer to Santa's sleigh, Rudolph.It is, perhaps, a sign of New York City's incompara-ble multiethnic synergy, which reaches right back to the present-seeking children of Dutch days, that both Marks and Berlin were, of course, Jewish.Gordon, who grew up in Manhattan, has written several books of history, including "Empire of Wealth: The Epic

He earned his B.A in Chemistry at the University of Chicago with honors and his Ph.D. in Chemical Phys-ics at UC Berkeley

“I really am deeply honored to receive this award from my homeland of Greece. I was educated in Greece, and the years that I spent there changed my life forever,” said prof. Alivisatos, while accept-ing the award. “To all the people of Greece I want to say a deep thank you for the effect that you had on me as a young person, which is what has ena-bled me to go on later in my life and to have some accomplishments in the science world. I also want to say to all the people of Greece how much we all hope that you will be optimistic about the future and built something very special in Greece.”

Most sports fans normally only see the in-dustry on the surface and rarely see the business end of it. One part of the busi-ness is the “game” of being an agent to the top players in a given organization. The world of negotiating contracts and solidi-fying short and long term deals is a maze in of itself. There are a few sports agents who have managed to navigate the ever

changing sports industry.Out of all the professional sports the NHL seems to be the most complex. For agents in that arena, not only have to deal with negotiating contracts but sometimes deal

with immigration issues. Since the major-ity of the players come from overseas that

issue sometimes comes into play.

In New York there are three powerhouse teams that are sought after by many agents based on their success sto-ries; The New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres and the New York Islanders. One agent that has targeted one of those teams is George Bazos.

Since he was a young boy sports always played a big role in his life. His father, Nicholas Bazos, came to America from Greece at fifteen years old and was an avid soc-cer player who ended up playing for UMASS. George’s father inspired him to be athletic which led to him play-ing soccer, basketball and baseball. His brother Andy also followed suit. In baseball alone George was named, First Team All-Western Mass. as a first baseman.Even though George would go on to represent NHL

players he never personally played hockey. He attended Tufts University where he studied Economics which would later aide him in the career he chose to pursue. But his upbringing also played a big role in his success.

“I think that my upbringing as a Greek- American has helped me in my business life. Growing up, I learned what it is like to work hard by watching my parents and relatives. My father came to the U.S. with nothing. He did not speak English at the time. He worked hard to put himself through college and then on to a success-ful career as a stock broker. My father and my mother, Estelle Bazos, then sent myself and my brother (Andrew Bazos, Harvard University) to college.”After graduating in 1987 George pursued the demand-ing career of being a sports agent his first taste came in 1990. Prior to that he was hired by PaineWebber Inc. (now UBS Financial Services). While working there he managed to earn various licenses in investment and in-surance. He would also go on to be certified by the NHL and the MLB.He would soon come to represent a player who would become one of the most elite goalies in the NHL. George first met Jonathan Quick when he was a junior at Avon Old Farms, a Prep School. After that he followed him and realized his potential and when he felt it was right he approached Jonathan’s parents. George is best known for his success at the Collective Bargaining Agreement. As Quick’s agent he played a big role in his 10-year, $58 million extension with the LA Kings. Bazos through his own agency, Edge Sports Management made it happen. Most of George’s success is not only due to his educa-tion but also his work ethic and fair-play. His working philosophy is what gained him the respect he has in the

industry.He began his own agency along with his partner, Jordan Neumann, in 2008. Since then they have been a driv-ing force in the sports agent game. Along with Quick, George also represents forward, Cam Atkinson, who plays for Columbus and defenseman, Kevin Shatterkirk with the St. Louis Blues and Carolina Hurricanes for-ward Nathan Gerbe along with many other NHL play-ers.Currently he represents New York Ranger, Dan Boyle who is recovering from a broken hand. For the past month it has been difficult for Dan who wants to be out there helping his teammates. George is always there to support his clients whether they are on or off the ice.

“Dan broke a bone in his hand, and it takes time to heal. No amount of rehab can speed the

process of the bone healing, so that makes things difficult. There is nothing I can do for Dan, ex-cept to give him emotional support. I am look-

ing forward to his return to playing.”

Usually the busiest time for George is the end of the season when negotiations are up and terms need to be ironed out. The start of the season is a quiet time since usually contracts are already in place. George enjoys working with every player he represents. He admits that hockey players are very humble and hard working. Be-sides being an agent he also speaks at conferences and has penned a few columns covering amateur and pro hockey. When he is not out breaking the ice with NHL teams he relaxes with his wife and three children in Pound Ridge, New York. To learn more about his agen-

Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed (The Real Reason For The Forty-Hour Workweek)

By David Cain,

The ultimate tool for corporations to sustain a culture of this sort is to develop the 40-hour workweek as the normal lifestyle. Under these working conditions peo-ple have to build a life in the evenings and on weekends. This arrangement makes us naturally more inclined to spend heavily on entertainment and conveniences be-cause our free time is so scarce. I’ve only been back at work for a few days, but already I’m noticing that the more wholesome activities are quickly dropping out of my life: walking, exercising, reading, meditating, and extra writing. The one conspicuous similarity between these activities is that they cost little or no money, but they take time.Suddenly I have a lot more money and a lot less time, which means I have a lot more in common with the typ-ical working North American than I did a few months ago. While I was abroad I wouldn’t have thought twice about spending the day wandering through a national park or reading my book on the beach for a few hours. Now that kind of stuff feels like it’s out of the question. Doing either one would take most of one of my precious weekend days! The last thing I want to do when I get home from work is exercise. It’s also the last thing I want to do after dinner or before bed or as soon as I wake, and that’s really all the time I have on a weekday.This seems like a problem with a simple answer: work

less so I’d have more free time. I’ve already proven to myself that I can live a fulfilling lifestyle with less than I make right now. Unfortunately, this is close to impos-sible in my industry, and most others. You work 40-plus hours or you work zero. My clients and contractors are all firmly entrenched in the standard-workday culture, so it isn’t practical to ask them not to ask anything of me after 1pm, even if I could convince my employer not to.The eight-hour workday developed during the indus-trial revolution in Britain in the 19th century, as a res-pite for factory workers who were being exploited with 14- or 16-hour workdays. As technologies and methods advanced, work-ers in all industries became able to produce much more value in a shorter amount of time. You’d think this would lead to shorter workdays.

But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big busi-ness, not because of the amount of work people get done in eight hours (the average office worker gets less than three hours of actual work done in 8 hours) but because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for conveni-ence, gratification, and any other relief they can buy. It keeps them watching television, and its commercials. It keeps them unambitious outside of work.We’ve been led into a culture that has been engineered to leave us tired, hungry for indulgence, willing to pay

thE woRld

a lot for convenience and entertainment, and most im-portantly, vaguely dissatisfied with our lives so that we continue wanting things we don’t have. We buy so much because it always seems like something is still missing.Western economies, particularly that of the United States, have been built in a very calculated manner on gratification, addiction, and unnecessary spending. We spend to cheer ourselves up, to reward ourselves, to cel-ebrate, to fix problems, to elevate our status, and to al-leviate boredom.Can you imagine what would happen if all of America stopped buying so much unnecessary fluff that doesn’t add a lot of lasting value to our lives?The economy would collapse and never recover.All of America’s well-publicized problems, including obesity, depression, pollution and corruption are what it costs to create and sustain a trillion-dollar economy. For the economy to be “healthy”, America has to remain un-healthy. Healthy, happy people don’t feel like they need much they don’t already have, and that means they don’t buy a lot of junk, don’t need to be entertained as much, and they don’t end up watching a lot of commercials.The culture of the eight-hour workday is big business’ most powerful tool for keeping people in this same dis-satisfied state where the answer to every problem is to buy something.You may have heard of Parkinson’s Law. It is often used in reference to time usage: the more time you’ve been

given to do something, the more time it will take you to do it. It’s amazing how much you can get done in twen-ty minutes if twenty minutes is all you have. But if you have all afternoon, it would probably take way longer.Most of us treat our money this way. The more we make, the more we spend. It’s not that we suddenly need to buy more just because we make more, only that we can, so we do. In fact, it’s quite difficult for us to avoid in-creasing our standard of living (or at least our rate of spending) every time we get a raise.I don’t think it’s necessary to shun the whole ugly system and go live in the woods, pretending to be a deaf-mute, as Holden Caulfield often fantasized. But we could cer-tainly do well to understand what big commerce really wants us to be. They’ve been working for decades to create millions of ideal consumers, and they have suc-ceeded. Unless you’re a real anomaly, your lifestyle has already been designed.The perfect customer is dissatisfied but hopeful, unin-terested in serious personal development, highly habit-uated to the television, working full-time, earning a fair amount, indulging during their free time, and somehow just getting by.

Is this you?Two weeks ago I would have said hell no, that’s not me, but if all my weeks were like this one has been, that might be wishful thinking.

FREE + Open to public. First come, first served.

Join the Segal for a truly extraordinary event, as we present Seven, a groundbreaking work of documentary theater that captures the re-markable lives of a di-verse and courageous group of women leaders from around the world.

Written in collaboration with seven award-win-ning playwrights (Paula Cizmar, Catherine Filloux, Gail Kriegel, Carol K. Mack, Ruth Margraff, Anna Dea-vere Smith, and Susan Yankowitz), the play explores the bravery of women who have triumphed over seem-ingly insurmountable

challenges to create ma-jor changes in human rights around the world.

Directed by Pamela Hunt.

Seven originated in col-laboration with Vital Voices Global Partner-ship that introduced the playwrights to seven in-spiring women leaders from around the globe who have been honored by Vital Voices for their extraordinary courage and for their power to transform lives in their communities.

Followed by a conversa-tion with Pamela Hunt, Carol Mack, Susan Yankowitz, and others.

Seven, a groundbreaking documen-tary play, will make a Nigerian pre-miere in Abuja.Seven portrays seven women’s rights activists from around the globe, in-cluding Nigerian advocate for wom-en’s rights, Hafsat Abiola.

To date Ms. Krausz Sjögren has direct-ed over 200 politicians, actors and pro-files of civil society in the Riksteatern tour of staged readings of Seven. Seven has toured several countries including Sweden, Turkey, Great Britain and the US, where Oscar winning actress Meryl Streep was featured in the role of Inez McCormack, from Northern Ireland. Hafsat Abiola will be present on both occasions.

blizzaRds all thE waYWhy Is Record Cold and Epic Snow Hitting U.S. So Early?The lake-effect snow comes from west-southwesterly winds of a storm aligning neatly with the lengths of Lakes Erie and Ontario, which sit between the American Midwest and Canada. That alignment is "allowing the air to pick up large amounts of moisture," writes Jeff Masters, director of mete-orology at Weather Underground, on his blog.Lake-effect snow tends to result from cold, dry winter winds sweeping from Canada across unfrozen lakes. As they cross open water, the winds pick up moisture and become warm-er. When that moist air reaches the eastern sides of the lakes, it's forced to rise abruptly over the land and over the colder air above the land.The results are exceptional snowfalls in bands along the southeastern sides of the lakes, often accompanied by the unusual winter phenomena of thunder and lightning. But even by those standards, this week's snow stands out. "I can't remember and I don't think anyone else can remember this much snow falling in this short a period," Erie County, New York, executive Mark Poloncarz told CNN.The most dramatic effect normally extends up to 70 miles (113 kilometers) inland from the lakes, but bands of light snow and flurries can extend hundreds of miles inland.

It's only November, and half the U.S. is blanketed in snow—six feet deep and counting in and around Buffalo, New York—while parts of the Deep South have been waking up to temperatures that are just above freezing. Temperatures are expected to remain well below normal from the Great Plains to the eastern seaboard over the next few days, while snow will likely continue downwind of the Great Lakes, ac-cording to the National Weather Service.What's going on? Blame the so-called lake effect, the polar vortex, a kink in the jet stream—and an old super typhoon.

Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads “Mom” or “Dad”. Not ever.4. Hand the phone to one of your parents promptly at 7:30pm every school night & every weekend night at 9:00pm. It will be shut off for the night and turned on again at 7:30am. If you would not make a call to some-one’s land line, wherein their parents may answer first, then do not call or text. Listen to those instincts and respect other families like we would like to be respected.5. It does not go to school with you. Have a conversation with the people you text in person. It’s a life skill. *Half days, field trips and after school activities will require special consideration.6. If it falls into the toilet, smashes on the ground, or vanishes into thin air, you are responsible for the re-placement costs or repairs. Mow a lawn, babysit, stash some birthday money. It will happen, you should be prepared.7. Do not use this technology to lie, fool, or deceive an-other human being. Do not involve yourself in conver-sations that are hurtful to others. Be a good friend first or stay the hell out of the crossfire.8. Do not text, email, or say anything through this de-vice you would not say in person.9. Do not text, email, or say anything to someone that you would not say out loud with their parents in the room. Censor yourself.10. No porn. Search the web for information you would openly share with me. If you have a question about any-

thing, ask a person ? preferably me or your father.11. Turn it off, silence it, put it away in public. Especially in a restaurant, at the movies, or while speaking with another human being. You are not a rude person; do not allow the iPhone to change that.12. Do not send or receive pictures of your private parts or anyone else’s private parts. Don’t laugh. Someday you will be tempted to do this despite your high intelligence. It is risky and could ruin your teenage/college/adult life. It is always a bad idea. Cyberspace is vast and more powerful than you. And it is hard to make anything of this magnitude disappear — including a bad reputation.13. Don’t take a zillion pictures and videos. There is no need to document everything. Live your experiences. They will be stored in your memory for eternity.14. Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision. It is not alive or an extension of you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more power-ful than FOMO — fear of missing out.15. Download music that is new or classic or different than the millions of your peers that listen to the same exact stuff. Your generation has access to music like never before in history. Take advantage of that gift. Ex-pand your horizons.16. Play a game with words or puzzles or brain teasers every now and then.17. Keep your eyes up. See the world happening around you. Stare out a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk. Talk to a stranger. Wonder without googling.18. You will mess up. I will take away your phone. We will sit down and talk about it. We will start over again. You & I, we are always learning. I am on your team. We are in this together.

Φυλακισμένος Αρχιεπίσκοπος στα Σκόπια επειδή φώναξε «η Μακεδονία είναι ελληνική» – Απειλούν τη ζωή του

thE woRld

Φυλακισμένος στα Σκόπια επειδή φώναξε η Μακεδονία είναι ελληνική. Απαράδεκτες οι συνθήκες κράτησης. Απειλούν να τον σκοτώσουν αν δεν ανακαλέσει τα όσα υποστηρίζει για την ελληνικότητα της Μακεδονίας.

Ο μαρτυρικός Αρχιεπίσκοπος Αχρίδας Ιωάννης τόλμησε να πει την αλήθεια κι αμέσως οι Σκοπιανοί του πρόσαψαν τον χαρακτηρισμό προδότη του έθνους. Αν και τα τρία τελευταία χρόνια ταλαιπωρείται στην φυλακή δεν ήταν λίγα αυτά που πέρασε και τα προηγούμενα χρόνια. Συνεχείς φυλακίσεις, βασανισμοί, διώξεις, εξορίες. Όλα αυτά γιατί ο Αρχιεπίσκοπος δεν φοβόταν να πει στους Σκοπιανούς ότι δεν είχαν καμία δουλειά με τον Μέγα Αλέξανδρο και την Μακεδονία.Θέλουν να τον εξοντώσουν και αυτό φαίνεται και από τον τρόπο που του φέρονται στη φυλακή είπε η μητέρα του που της επέτρεψαν να τον δει μόνο δύο φορές. Κοιμάται σε κελί με 33 άτομα με μια τουαλέτα

, οι φύλακες τον βασανίζουν και οι συνθήκες υγιεινής είναι απαράδεκτες. Η εκκλησία του Αρχιεπίσκοπου Αχρίδος, στα πλαίσια του Πατριαρχείου Σερβίας, είναι αναγνωρισμένη από όλα τα Ορθόδοξα Πατριαρχεία και τις κατά τόπους Εκκλησίες της Οικουμένης.

Σήμερα ο μάρτυρας φιλέλληνας συμπληρώνει τρία χρόνια στις φυλακές των Σκοπίων, όπου λιώνει αβοήθητος από τους Σέρβους και από τους Έλληνες. Η Διεθνής κοινότητα μόνο λεκτικά συμπαρίστανται στο δράμα του Ιωάννη. Οι ομόδοξοι Σέρβοι δεν κάνουν καμία θεαματική ενέργεια για να τον αποφυλακίσουν.Ούτε οι Έλληνες έκαναν κάτι για αυτόν που έχουν ακόμη μεγαλύτερη υποχρέωση στον Ελληνομαθέστατο και φιλέλληνα Ιεράρχη, που υπερασπίστηκε τα Ελληνικά δίκαια της Μακεδονίας, φωνάζοντας κι αυτός μαζί με 10 εκατομμύρια Έλληνες, ότι η Μακεδονία είναι Ελληνική. Από τότε ο Ιωάννης πληρώνει ακόμη πολύ βαρύ τίμημα, αυτά τα 12 χρόνια.

The Macedonia naming dispute is a political dispute centered over the use of the name Macedonia between the Balkan coun-tries of Greece and the Republic of Macedonia, formerly a federal unit of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Pertinent to its background is an early 20th century multifaceted dispute and armed conflict that formed part of the background to the Balkan Wars. The specific naming dispute, although an existing issue in Yugoslav-Greek relations since World War II, was reignited after the breakup of Yugoslavia and the newly gained independence of the former Socialist Republic of Macedonia in 1991. Since then, it

has been an ongoing issue in bilateral and international relations.Citing historical and territorial concerns resulting from the am-biguity between the Republic of Macedonia, the adjacent Greek region of Macedonia and the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon which falls mostly within Greek Macedonia, Greece opposes the use of the name "Macedonia" by the Republic of Macedonia with-out a geographical qualifier, supporting a compound name such as "Northern Macedonia" for use by all and for all purposes.[1] As millions of ethnic Greeks identify themselves as Macedoni-ans, unrelated to the Slavic people who are associated with the Republic of Macedonia, Greece further objects to the use of the term "Macedonian" for the neighboring country's largest ethnic group and its language. The Republic of Macedonia is accused of appropriating symbols and figures that are historically consid-ered part of Greek culture such as the Vergina Sun and Alexander the Great, and of promoting the irredentist concept of a United Macedonia, which involves territorial claims on Greece, Bulgaria, Albania, and Serbia.
